Are you finding out the gender?

Just curious...everyone we seem to talk to that is pregnant is finding out the sex of the baby. We would like to wait but not sure if we can.

What are you doing? or what did you do??

Re: Are you finding out the gender?

Yes we are finding out.

I hate surprises and DH is a realllll planner, he likes to dot his i's and cross his t's twice, so he'd never make it without knowing.

We are finding out the gender. I would love to wait to the end but it would be impossible for me....I don't have the will power for that. I also think its so much easier to register and prepare for the arrival.

Re: Are you finding out the gender?

We didnt find out, I am not 33 weeks and the only hard part about not finding out is picking names.

Other than that I think its a great experience to wait. First I love the anticipation, not only mine but everyone elses. Everyone loves to speculate about why I am having a boy (or girl) its really cute.

This is our first so I would have registered for gender neutral items anyway so that I could use the items for baby #2 down the line even if its a different sex.

I do believe I will find out when the time comes to have #2, because we only plan on having 2 so we might as well.

That is exactly what I say when people ask me. I'm still shocked that I'm pg - I cant take anymore surprises!

Re: Are you finding out the gender?

Nope Chat Icon And it's so much fun - people guessing and all the anticipation Chat Icon

ETA: I see the baby's room beforehand as the main reason for some people finding out. Just an FYI - the baby's room will be 99.9% set up before I deliver, I'm just going to have some navy accents and pink accents (wall art, throw rug, lamp shade, etc) picked out before and we'll order them as soon as I get home. Everything else will be done though so you can do it if that's the only thing swaying you.

Yes.

At first we weren't sure but now we decided we want too. I would like to get the baby's room ready beforehand.

Re: Are you finding out the gender?

We are finding out! Because I'm crazy and can't wait that long to know!! Also, DH wants to have the room all ready! I also think it's easier for shower reasons! My friend just had her shower and got literally 250 yellow, green and shite outfits! (It might have even been more) She was so happy she had clothes for a whole year. I was saying...when the baby comes out you aren't going to want to dress it in gender neutral clothes EVER|Y day!

On the other hand, my brother just had a baby and we didn't know! I was up every hour during her delivery because I couldn't wait to hear what it was! But, I just don't think I have the patience!
